Daddy’s little helpers

According to the boys, pampas grass is delish. With the new fence giving them access, the boys were able to chew our once beautiful plants down to a nub.

Yesterday, I asked Don if he would put up some wire to give the grass a chance to recover. In the interest of helping Don turn a mundane task into something challenging and fun, the boys decided to help.

Here’s Ellsworth providing suggestions for how to begin the job.

And checking in on Don’s progress a few minutes later.

Bernard really wasn’t into how Don got the job done. He was more interested in tools and materials, and most specifically, what each tasted like.

Well, I guess I need to turn my two loose on the dried pampas – it’s a lengthy task for me to trim it every year. However, I doubt the dried version would taste half as good as the fresh! Adorable pictures, as always! -Tammy

Looks like Ellsworth is doing his best to distract him away from his tasty grass patch. Bernard is a typical boy…interested in all the tools. Looks like they make the job a lot more enjoyable, for all their “help”.
